Question about Form DS-156

[Cheese2 1]

hey guys, I'm filling out the form DS-156, the one you submit online and I have a few issues with it. Filling out the space where it asks for previous visits to the U.S, and I have run out of room because I visit the U.S a lot. Do I just submit it online stating that the rest of the answer is on a separate sheet and just bring it with me to the interview? I don't know how I would attach it to the online one

For a K1 visa you can't use the online one. It specifically says this on their site.

In packet 3 that I received it says "Form DS-156 NONIMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION: this form must be completed online at http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html and please print two copies for the interview

Ah, it sounds like they just want you to fill it out online then print it out. That's what we did as well. I thought you were saying that you were going to submit it online. For the multiple visits, I would just attach another piece of paper with your visits listed.

I too have visited back and forth from Canada to the U.S. since birth. In fact I was a green card holder as a child as my USC father was working in US for 7 years. When we moved back to Canada I have always lived close to the border and would go to US for lunch or evening out.

In trying to be prepared I have started completing my DS-156 and have typed out a sheet that states,"to the best of my knowledge" and have then listed known dates and unknown dates I put a bullet stating from this year to this year I made multiple day trips across the border at named border crossing.

I don't know if this is going to be satisfactory but a suggestion.

Good luck to you!

Montreal seems to be the only consulate that requires the online form.

For the online version, my lawyer advised me to include the most recent visits as space permits (15 visits as I recall)

Similar to the above post, my prior visits also include time living there as a child on a green card.

My lawyer prepared a long list ( 3 pages ) of my best guesstimates which I signed and dated. It was attached as an addendum to DS-230.
